Fairlie, Scotland • Scotland
Fairlie is a small coastal village on the A78 between Largs and West Kilbride, about half an hour south-west of Glasgow in the KA postcode area. It's a quiet base with a seafront, a railway station and far more parking than any city street, which is why crews working the coast and the Clyde hinterland are happy to land here. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats in Fairlie and the neighbouring villages with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice to your company.
Fairlie's housing is mostly older and solid: sandstone villas and cottages along the shore road, a few small developments set back from the sea, and similar stock through Largs, West Kilbride and Skelmorlie next door. For crews we look for off-street parking, a second bathroom on bigger headcounts and broadband that's been tested, not promised. The village is small enough that everything is a short walk — the shop, the station, the sea — which suits crews finishing late.
The coast has a steady rhythm of work: housing development and refurbishment in the towns, port and energy activity further up the Clyde, manufacturing and public-sector jobs inland. Crews working across North Ayrshire often base in the coastal villages because the A78 threads the whole strip together. A whole house here costs less than a hotel in Greenock or Paisley, and the crew drives against the commuter flow most mornings.
The A78 runs the coast: Largs is three minutes north, West Kilbride a couple south, and the route links inland towards the M8 and Greenock. Fairlie has its own station on the line into Glasgow, handy for crew changes. Give us the site postcode and we shortlist by drive time — a crew working up towards Hunterston wants a different end of the village to one heading inland to Kilbirnie or Lochwinnoch.
The let is the whole house or flat — the crew's own kitchen, living room and doorstep. Every bill stays in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles, and we search for two bathrooms on crews of five or more. A weekly clean with linen keeps the place straight, and any maintenance is ours. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum crew or stay.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Within two working hours of getting the site postcode, headcount and dates. Every option is pre-checked for drive time, parking, broadband and bathrooms, so the list is deliberately short — everything on it is available and suitable for the crew you describe.
Fairlie itself, plus Largs, West Kilbride and Skelmorlie along the A78, and inland towards Kilbirnie and Lochwinnoch when the site demands it. Tell us where the job is and we'll shortlist from the direction the crew will actually travel each day.
Yes, and it's matched to the vehicles before we offer anything. Village houses here commonly have driveways or generous kerb space, but we still confirm the detail — van lengths included — in the property summary so there are no surprises on arrival.
Everything sits in our name — council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband — and rolls into one monthly invoice to your company paid by card. The crew pays nothing, files no receipts, and there are no booking fees on top of the agreed rate.
Cost and convenience. A whole house sleeps the crew together with a kitchen, a washing machine and somewhere to park the van, and the rate holds steady for the booking. Hotels split crews across rooms, charge per night and rarely have parking that fits a works vehicle.
Three things: the site postcode or location, the crew size, and the rough dates. With those we shortlist suitable whole properties within two hours, confirm parking and broadband on each, and come back with one monthly rate your company can approve in a single email.

If Fairlie is short on the right house for your crew, Glasgow is the obvious back-up, roughly 25 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Glasgow page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
